Behind The Lens

Location

This Photo was taken in a very popular sea side in India . I was traveling in this awesome place while I got this .

Time

This is really one of my favorite Image . This photo was taken on 19.04.2013 at 7.02 AM . I just woke up in early morning and went for walk at that sea beach just to feel the morning beauty and to catch up sunrise , so I was just hanging around while I saw them , I did not waste my time to capture that story , I took a step forward,composed the frame set the exposer triangle and boom ( clicked ) and got this .

Lighting

The hard light of the sun from the upper side was really making great contrast and in that contrast their natural formation attracted me , for those light. The foreground midground and background was looking so dramatic . And I made it monochrome ( Black and white ) cause Black and white love contrast . As per me this one is a very good example of Figure To Ground rule .

Equipment

This was shoot on a Nikon D5100 with 18-55 mm Kit in Hand held .

Inspiration

I was inspired to take this photo by the story and the lighting . Really I tried to convey the daily life story of those fishermen . This sea beach is a very popular vacation place and tourist spot , in background you can see they are enjoying sea where these fisherman are doing their daily job and struggling to earn their livelihood . and those contrast light really made a painting look,as per me .

Editing

I shoot raw fine so basically I edited this raw file , I down the highlight mean the over cast area then I just played little bit with Shadow Exposer and Contrast like the basic touches and obviously I made profile correction in lightroom and cleared some detractive elements in photoshop . Because I shoot raw I just tried to pull out details not to over do or over process .

In my camera bag

I am really a low budget guy so I do not have expensive gears just till now I Have a Semi-Slr Nikon L120 and D-Slr Nikon D5100 with 18-55 kit , a 70-300 mm sigma and a sigma 10-20 mm lens . A black rapid yeti strap to hold two cameras . a slick tripod and a smiledrive gorillapod . This is really just for travelling. these are inexpensive gears compared to the other gears . These are light weight to carry .

Feedback

Though rules are made to be broken but some rules work most of the time These approximately maintain the Golden triangle for horizontal line in photography , Figure To Ground which means to find contrast between subject and background , Using three ground foreground midground and background . And the key things is how you are trying to convey the story . I know in this big ocean of Photography I am nothing but I just tried to share some of my experiences of 5 years hard work , learnings and dedication .
